Here is how you can sell tickets onsite through the Box Office app and print them using a StarMicronics TSP 100 printer.
Once connected, a receipt with a scannable QR code with sales information will be printed. Each purchased ticket will have a QR code that can be scanned by the TicketSpice scanning app.
Here is a setup video for the Star Micronics TSP 100 Bluetooth printer.

Connect Your Printer to the Box Office App
Here is what you'll need to get started:
A fully charged iPad
Your StarMicronics printer
A reliable wifi connection
First, plug your printer into power. Hold down the Feed button and then the Power button until it begins printing.
You'll want to save the second strip on the sheet that is printed. This strip will include the device name
Once you know the device name, you can set the printer aside and pick up the iPad and tap the Settings icon
Tap Bluetooth
Look for the device name and tap it to connect
Next, open the Box Office app and tap the three lines in the upper left corner
Select Settings
Locate the printer's device name and tap it to connect
That is it! You are now connected and ready to start selling and printing tickets onsite! 🙌
Add a Cash Drawer (Optional)
You can link your printer to a cash drawer for added convenience and security. With this setup, the cash drawer will automatically open whenever a customer pays with cash. If the payment is made by credit card, the drawer remains closed. It’s a simple and secure way to manage cash transactions at your event!
Pro Tip: If the cable connected to your cash drawer has labeled ends, we recommend ensuring each end is correctly plugged into the Star Micronics printer and the cash drawer.
If the cash drawer doesn’t open as expected after a cash payment, try switching the cable ends to see if that resolves the issue.
To connect your cash drawer, plug in one end of the supplied cable into the bottom of the cash drawer
Plug in the other end into the back of the printer
Test a cash transaction in the Box Office App to confirm that the cash drawer works as expected
